When it comes to the construction and operation of wind turbines, Sabowind puts a great deal of energy into finding and planning suitable compensation measures, which we implement together with the community to try to compensate for impacts right in the local area. The final agreement on compensation measures is then made with the nature conservation authorities. From unsealing of soils to planting of vegetation to the creation of naturalistic wetlands, no measure is off limits for enhancing the natural landscape and offering ecological added value for animals and nature.
We bring your projects to fruition.
Compensation measures include the following focal points
Natural landscape
- Structuring and enhancing the natural landscape
- Planting vegetation to create new refuges and feeding habitats for insects, birds and small mammals
Species conservation
- Creating new habitats by compensating for lost nesting areas
- Contributing to bird conservation
Soil
- Restoration of sealed areas
- Disposal of contaminated soils
- Reclamation of areas for nature conservation
Selected compensation projects
Plantation of orchard meadow
Hedge plantation Löbau and plantation of orchard meadow Wittgendorf
In the course of constructing a wind turbine at wind farm Melaune, a hedge and an orchard meadow were planted at Löbau respectively Wittgendorf, to compensate impairments of nature and landscape.
The hedge is situated in the suburban area of the town Löbau and was planted on intensively used grassland to create habitat network between garden plots at the south west of Löbau and the valley of the river Löbauer Wasser. It also enhances food supply for insects, birds and small mammals.
The orchard plantation also took place on former grassland. Because it is situated on the edge of the forest, it forms a transition to the open country. Insects, bats and many bird species find a potential habitat or refuge here.
